Charcoal-grilled egg waffles are few and far between and if the breathtaking scenery at Tai O isn't sufficient to warrant a trip to the fishing village, you simply must make a visit for the gan dan jai.
This popular streetside eggette vendor (above) churns out glorious waffles with crunchy shells that shatter to reveal fluffy, custardy sponge. The charcoal fire lends a slight smoky fragrance to the addictive snack. Unexpectedly, these turned out to be the highlight of my food expedition in Hong Kong!
I am unsure of the stall's operating hours, but CNNGo states that it is open in the afternoons.
